Thanks HEPATOLOGY Journal for inviting us to write this review!

In the last few years we have seen actual data supporting safety and effectiveness of naltrexone in cirrhosis

Largely thanks to Anahita Rabiee

Even guidelines are starting to endorse it

Gone are the days of reflexively saying “contraindicated”

This started on #livertwitter

In today's The Boston Globe, Carl G Streed Jr MD MPH FACP FAHA (he/him) and I have a letter to the editor:

We have sat through countless medical meetings and trainings of health care professionals, and everyone wants to deepen our understanding of how sex and gender affect people every day. 1/5

Wonderful to have Victor Chedid, MD from Mayo Clinic Gastroenterology & Hepatology come for the ACG Visiting Professor Program at UAB Medicine! We enjoyed so much your state-of-the-art talk on LGBTQ+ inclusive care! 🌈

Excited to announce this🔥letter to the editor by Carl G Streed Jr MD MPH FACP FAHA (he/him) and me just published in #JAMA JAMA regarding #gender eligibility descriptions for clinical trials!

⚠️ #Burton et al reported nearly two-thirds of trials reported applying gender-based eligibility using sex…

Guidelines are unanimous;

For look risk procedures like paracentesis we need not check INR and should not give FFP

Liver, gastroenterology, hematology, and interventional radiology societies agree

So why the variation in managing “the cirrhotic coagulopathy”?

Important consensus multidisciplinary paper by AASLD regarding management of cirrhosis associated coagulopathy. No need for INR testing or prophylactic plasma for paracentesis/diagnostic endoscopy. Great work from Elliot Tapper Juliet Emamaullee MD PhD et al. journals.lww.com/hep/abstract/9…
